Question

Which equation represents the line that passes through ( -8, 11) and ( 4, 7/2)?

Answer 1

`m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

`m= (7/2-11)/(4-(-8))`

`m= (-7.5)/(12) = (-5)/(8)`
Now point slope form:

`y-y1=m(x-x1)`

`y-11= (-5)/(8)[x-(-8)]`

`y-11= (-5)/(8)x-5`

`y= (-5)/(8)x +6` is your final equation
